Allen is not 6'6 255. Rivals listed him at 6'5 230. 247 and ESPN at 6'4 230.

They'll be able to put some weight on him by the fall (I'm sure he already did bulk up in the spring), but 6'6 255 is freakishly large. That's basically the size Clowney entered the draft at (taller, actually, but a little lighter).

It looks like he did come in around 230 but according to this article from May 15th he put on a solid 15 lbs in the winter workouts making him around 245 now. Maybe he'll stay there or put on a little more. Who knows.

Tennessee Vols football Freshman Focus: Jordan Allen

On a field with other SEC athletes, Allen fits right in. After adding more than 15 pounds to his frame during winter workouts, he's physically impressive and moves fluidly, demonstrating the kind of athleticism the Vols saw and wanted coming off the edge of their defense from the outside linebacker position.

The Vols want those players setting the edge in the run game and rushing the quarterback off the edge, and physically Allen possesses all the tools to be good at both of those things.

Would be pretty incredible if Pruitt could pull 3 out of the top 6 juco guys in Henry, Blades and this guy Williams. All defense too 🙌🏻

I think we have to feel really good about being in that Top 5. I think we can throw out FAU and Oregon. Based on past performances on the recruiting trail so far, I feel really great going heads up against Auburn and Ole Miss for his signature.

Don't think this kid is a take. They would have pushed for him when he visited the same weekend as the other JUCO LB, Henry, who committed.

Good point, but i think it’s not safe for us to assume too much with this staff when it comes to recruiting i.e. Harris last Friday. Not saying you’re wrong, just saying...

EDIT: then again, that dude stands straight up his entire “highlight” clip

Heard some national guy on recruiting. Can’t remember who it was. Made the comment that Ole Miss was the biggest surprise in recruiting this year. Everyone assumed that they’d fall on their face and so far they have gotten a decent group. Maybe their bagmen still very active.

Yeah you do. OleMiss just got slapped on the wrist for some seriously egregious crap they did in recruiting during Freeze’s time there. So, they’ve calculated that it’s worth continuing the same recruiting “practices” that they employed when they landed Nkemdiche, Tunsil and Treadwell (among others) in 2013. No doubt they offered Sam a few extra incentives in exchange for his verbal.

If they get busted again they can't blame it on freeze. The university will get hammered back to the depths of the SEC, where they belong.

Didn’t happen the first time....no punishment after doing the stuff that got them 2 wins vs Bama, some awfully good teams and some national relevance for the first time in decades. Not seeing why they’d be concerned in the least about getting “hammered” to anywhere. Calculated risk already paid off once, I think they’re gambling that it’ll pay off again.
